Public worship of any religion besides Islam is banned in the kingdom, where Sunnis make up more than 90 percent of the population.
A Washington-based Christian religious freedom advocate denounced the raid, saying that it has always been an official policy of Saudi Arabia to continue its "religious cleansing."
"It is the only nation state in the world with the official policy of banning all churches. This is enforced even though there are over 2 million Christian foreign workers in that country," FoxNews.com quoted Nina Shea, director of the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom, as saying.

I voted for Jerry Brown in the presidential primaries, proudly wore a pin.
This shit is nothing new, but I fear for the youngsters who, absent our personal experience, might believe any line of bullshit.
For example, this is an OLD war, really really old war.
